Mary Rottman

Mary was born in Park City, Utah on March 6, 1917. She lived a good part of her life in Salt Lake City, UT where she graduated from Westminster College and went on to teach school. She lived in various places: Jackson Hole; Aspen; Austin, NV; Monticello, UT; Waldport, OR; and her final move to Durango to be with her son and grandsons.
Mary was a likeable lady who was full of love. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. If everyone cared for life and treated mankind as she did, the World would be a much more peaceful place. Memories of her will be around for a long, long time. Her family would like to thank the staff and all her friends at the Durango La Plata County Senior Center and a special thank you to those that looked after her in the final days.
Cremation has taken place, with her final resting place at a Salt Lake City, UT cemetery.
